(Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Shuya Naka, hereinafter referred to as "Our Company") will hold an urgent online seminar targeting food service businesses, following the "Principle Suspension of New Intake for Specified Skilled Worker No. 1 in the Food Service Sector" announced by the Immigration Services Agency on March 27, 2026.

On March 27, 2026, the Immigration Services Agency announced that the number of resident status holders under Specified Skilled Worker No. 1 in the food service sector is approaching the upper limit of 50,000. Consequently, from April 13 onwards, "new intake"—such as calling individuals from overseas or changing their status within Japan—is expected to be suspended in principle. This situation signifies more than just a temporary halt; it brings into question Japan's position as a "preferred country and company" in the labor market. In this seminar, we will collectively examine how the market will evolve following this latest notification and what fundamental measures companies should take before falling into a "competition for domestic talent."
